Tempe moves toward third runway settlement at Sky Harbor
Tempe City Council plans to consider a letter of intent with Phoenix officials that would allow a new third runway while adding safeguards for Tempe residents. The agreement includes noise protections, flight-path curbs, penalties for violations, and monitoring, but critics say it may not go far enough. Legal options are limited given FAA regimes, with an estimated 25 percent chance to win in court, making the deal the pragmatic path forward.

Hal DeKeyser argues that counting baseball as economic development ignores opportunity costs like mass transit and highway projects.
